Amazon.com Product Description
Sony's stylish, slender DVP-FX1021 packs a 10.2-inch widescreen TFT liquid-crystal display under its aluminum hood, giving you an appealing way to turn downtime into prime time. The DVP-FX1021's lithium-ion battery is designed to hold out for a whopping 7 full hours (with contrast set to minimum and using headphones instead of speakers), enough for 2 epic films to last you through most or all of that transcontinental flight.

You can charge it in the car using its DC car charger, or use the supplied AC/DC power adapter to charge or watch from a hotel room. You can also hook it up to a TV in the hotel or at home using the unit's minijack S-video and composite-video outputs (cable included).

The player's 16:9 aspect ratio matches that of your favorite feature films. It has built-in stereo speakers, and it plays CDs, too--leave the screen down, plug your headphones in, and crank it up (but not too loud). You can even ask a friend to join you: the player sports 2 headphone jacks. Use the DVP-FX1021 to listen to your MP3 CDs and, with JPEG-encoded CD-Rs and CD-RWs, view slideshows of your most recent or most popular digital photos--perfect for those infrequent visits to distant relations.

Both Dolby Digital and DTS 5.1-channel surround-sound signals can be routed through the player's digital-audio output (through a .125-inch minijack-to-Toslink optical cable, not supplied) for direct connection to a full-featured audio/video receiver. The outputs are switchable as AV inputs, too, in case you want to use the screen as a monitor for a camcorder or video-game device.

The resume feature automatically restarts playback from the point where you last stopped a disc, and a compact remote control affords ready access to the device from up to several feet away. Headphones are not included.

NEC AccuSync 70M 17" Multimedia Monitor (PC/Mac) Manufacturer: NEC-Mitsubishi Product Group: CE Binding: Electronics ASIN: B00004Y74G

Amazon.com Review

At the recommended resolution of 1,024 x 768, the AccuSync 70M boasts a solid refresh rate of 87 Hz, making it easy on the eyes, and its modest dimensions conserve valuable desk space. At higher resolutions, the AccuSync 70's biggest flaw is apparent--weak refresh rates. Topping out at a maximum resolution of 1,280 x 1,024 at 66 Hz, screen flicker is apparent and irritating. This definitely isn't the monitor for power users. However, for small or home offices, the AccuSync handles business apps, Internet browsing, and day-to-day use just fine.

The 70M offers a complete multimedia experience, thanks to the built-in audio amplifier and stereo speakers. While not necessarily the best monitor on the block, the NEC AccuSync 70M is a good price-to-performance option for those on a budget. --Dan Simpson
